Why do people act like online is full of Wondertombs and illegal movesets? If a hacked Pokemon is allowed online then it is legal and could be gotten normally. If there are no hackers then luck will be the biggest factor. Whoever gets the best IVs wins. I don't mind though it should be interesting to see what the game is like without hacks.---Can't think of anything

Well you see here, if someone gets perfect pokemon on the spot that puts you at a pretty big disadvantage doesn't it? You can't really compete too well unless you sit there and grind for the PERFECT pokemon or you hack as well. I'm fine with grind a bit for decent stats but not for hours upon hours of it.---3DS FC: 1977-0529-1062

Lots of people are confused. Currently, it is already impossible to use illegal pokemon on Wifi and at Nintendo events. Every pokemon you see at those events was either bred and raised normally or generated through something.

The only difference is one person spent a lot of time breeding and training while the other didn't. The competitions aren't about who spends the most time raising the pokemon but about who is the most skilled/lucky/clever at battling.

That will put you at a big disadvantage even against other legit players.

AT the same time, you do also have to compete with the few people that actually take the time to manually customize, breed, and train their Pokemon. The results are the same; they just take different methods to be achieved. It's a matter of who has the smarts, not who has the time (because evidently some people don't have time to whip out their DS and play at every given chance).

And overmaxx, it's still a game no matter how much purity you try implementing into it. The "dont bother reasoning" statement applies the opposite way because not all of us are religiously inclined to train computer-programmed bytes.

ITT: People complaining are fretting over a style of play that allows people to save time and be happy and productive, and doesn't necessarily affect other players' lives in the slightest.

Seriously, why are people getting angry over something that doesn't necessarily affect them?

But to a certain extent is effects the multiplayer of the game which effects people who decide to play multiplayer with hacked pokemon (which is more people than not). I don't want to have to hack just so I can compete with people.

They're talking for JUST the in-game. Of course hacking for multiplayer is unacceptable but 99% of Pokemon players just play the in-game.
